from interfering with the winter q u a r t e r enrollment of
Negro Harold A. Franklin.
The ruling was made as a
"class action." That is, in the
words of the ruling, the injunction
"will: also relate to
the admission of other qualified
Negro applicants to the
Auburn University Graduate
School."
Franklin first applied Nov.
30, 1962, for admission to the
graduate school to study history,
and government. He was
notified last February that he
did not meet Auburn admission
requirements.
SUIT FILED
Franklin filed suit for admission
Aug. 27, charging that
he was denied admission because
he was a Negro. Auburn
officials stated, that he was
turned down because he did
not have a degree from an accredited
college.
Briefs were filed by both
sides Sept. 27, in U.S. District
Court in Montgomery. At that
time Johnson gave no indication
as to when he would issue
a ruling.

Slated To Appear
Academy-award winning actress
Celeste Holm will appear

The program, "With Love
and Laughter," presents and
answers the question: Has the
relationship between men and
women changed? by using
writings of authors such as
Shaw, F r e u d , Shakespeare,
Thurber, and Tennessee Williams.
Miss Holm is best known

fied that Franklin was not
denied admission because of
his race, but rather because of
Alabama State College's lack
of accreditation. F r a n k l in
graduated f r o m this Montgomery
college for Negroes.
The Auburn catalog provides
that "Graduation w i t h a
Bachelor's degree or its equivalent
from an accredited college
or university is the requ-site
for admission to the
Graduate School." Alabama
State has not been accredited
for more than a year.
"LEGISLATURE'S FAILURE"
However, in the same hearing,
the lack of accreditation
of Alabama State College was
blamed on the Alabama Legislature
in testimony by Austin
Meadows, state superintendent
of education.
Meadows placed the blame
on the "failure of the legislature
to appropriate sufficient
funds," in response to questioning
by Judge Johnson as to
the cause of the school's lack
of accreditation.
Questioned by Negro attorney
Fred Gray, w h o represented
Franklin, Meadows insisted
that he tried to raise
standards at the school. He
said he was aware that it did
not measure up to scholastic
standards, and had sought
more money for it.
Meadows said he could not
speak for all members of the
Board of -Education, but he
feitiSiat the board had considered
getting the college accredited.
He said that he himself
had worked for improving
the Negro Colleges of Alabama.

Student Activity Assessment Meets
Partial Cost Of Campus Activities
During registration an assessment
in the form of tuition is
made on each student in order
to meet part of the cost of instruction.
$8.50 of this assessment
is used to support student
activities and is disbursed
quarterly as follows: $.50—for
the Contingency Fund (an insurance
type fund used to repair
damage done by students).
$2.00—For retiring the $750,-
000 bond on the Auburn Union
•Building (this was by vote of
the Student Body in the spring
of 1950). $6.00—For the support
of 17 extra-curricular activities.
During the summer quarter
(from July 1, 1963-Sept. 1,
1963) this money was handled
as follows:
1. Athletic — This comprises
33.5% of the budget. Since it
is placed in the general Athletic
Department fund, it provides
the same benefits as the
f u n d , namely, scholarships,
equipment, transportation, and
room and board for the athletes.
In particular, it furnishes
each student with an identification
card and the privilege
of a attending the 65 varsity
events at reduced rates, saving
him some $60.00.
2. Band—The band provides
the student body with halftime
entertainment at football games,
and music at pep rallies, basketball
games, and concerts. All
of these presentations are free.
In addition the 1% received
from the student activities fee
replaces worn out uniforms and
reconditions instruments.
3. Debate—With its 1.75 per
cent of the $6.00, the Debate
Council will represent the Student
Body in debate tournaments
throughout the Southeast.
Last year they participated
in 102 rounds of debate, winning
67 rounds.
4. Dramatic Arts—The Auburn
Players present six plays
throughout the year. Your 1.5%
contribution to this group allows
you free admission to all
of the plays, while a nominal
fee is charged to others attending.
5. Exhibits — During the
course of the year twelve exhibits
will be brought to the
Auburn Campus. Here your .5%
contribution pays for the rent,
labor and transportation. Most
of the exhibits are quite valuable
and must be located in
a room which may be locked;
for this reason the majority of
the exhibits are located in Biggin
Hall.
6. Glomerata—Each year 25%
of the extra-curricular activity
fee is used to publish a conglomeration
of the year's activities.
As a result of the student
activities fee, you are
furnished with a record of your
college life.
7. Mens' Intramurals—It is
estimated that more than 7,000
students will participate in the
intramural program this year.
The 6.25% is spent on equipment,
trophies, supervision, and
officials for the games.
8. Womens'. Intramurals —
This 1.75% of the budget supports
the participation of some
66 teams in womens' sports by
furnishing equipment, supervision
,trophies and officials.
9. Lectures and Concerts —
Many of you are familiar with
this. As a result of your 7%
contribution during registration,
well-known lecturers and
entertainers are brought to the
Auburn campus and presented
at no additional cost. Already
this year you have had the opportunity
to hear Vance Packard
and the Chad Mitchel
Trio. It is estimated that $15,-
300 will be spent on this project
during the year.
10. Music — This program
provides support for the Opera
Workshop, Glee Clubs, and
Concert Orchestra. A 1.25% allocation
eliminates additional
charge to students to watch the
performances of these groups.
11. The Planisman — E a c h
week you are provided with a
newspaper published by the
students of Auburn University.
The budget provides funds 8%
that help to cover the publication
of this paper.
12. Religious Life—This is an
aspect of Auburn life which receives
.50% of the student activity
fee. It provides the Student
Body with speakers of a
religious nature and promotes
church attendance.
13. Student Body—This particular
project has almost as
many subdivisions as the extracurricular
activities. To mention
a few, this fund provides
for Village Fair, ACOIA, Student
Spirit, Student Safety,
Summer Jobs program, distri-
-bution of student directories,
War Eagle III, and many others.
The Student Body receives 2.-
65% of the activities fee.
14. Social Life—All of the
dances provided for the entire
campus are a result of this project,
which is allocated .50%
of the Student Activities Fee.
15. Union Activities — This
6.5% of the budget benefits the
Student Body by providing recreational
facilities and entertainment
such as free movies,
chess and bridge tournaments,
and dances.
16. Tiger Cub—This is the
official handbook for Auburn
University and serves to guide
the student to a well rounded
college life. It receives .60%.
17. WSGA—This 1.75% provides
the women students with
a voice in student government
and an opportunity to express
their opinions on campus matters.
As you can see, the opportunities
provided through the
Student Activities fee are many
and varied. It is our sincere
hope that you take advantage
of these opportunities and enjoy
the well rounded program.

of public relations.
The inauguration oath was administered
by Jim Vickrey,

Purpose of the banquet, according
to Vickrey, was "to
provide a method of recognizing
new student leadership
and to challenge them to work
and think in the context of
unity of purpose."

WSGA Material
To Form Booklet
By LARRY HERBERT
Information gained during a
recent WSGA Workshop will
provide the material for a new
WSGA booklet aimed toward
coordinating leadership duties
for officers of the women's
dorms, according to WSGA
president, Linda Lightsey.
The workshop was attended
by all officers of the dorms.
After the girls had assembled
in Thach, they were divided
into eight groups according to
the office they held. In each
group they discussed the duties
and responsibilities of their respective
office. Each girl explained
how she organized her
duties and enforced her authority.
From reports made by the
chairman of each group, WSGA
officers are compiling a booklet
which will contain the specific
duties and authorities of
each dorm officer. The material
will be organized and presented
according to each specific
office making it easy for all
students to know whom they
should see for any specific purpose.
The booklet will be sent to
the head resident of each of
the eighteen women's dorms
and therefore will aid in making
dorm government procedures
uniform throughout.
The groups at the workshop
were headed by Wanda Counts
and Alice Moss, dorm presidents;
Carolyn Stewart, vice-presidents;
Janice Williams and
Jill Skelton, legislative representatives;
Pat Flanigan, social
chairmen; Lil Cross and
Linda Lee Betchtel, devotional
chairmen; Mrs. Rawls and

Study Abroad Stretches Imagination,
Offers, Education, Travel, Excitement
By LISA SANDERS
"DOES EUROPE REALLY EXIST, AND IF SO
WHERE?" has long ceased to be a current topic at local
study clubs. For, despite the efforts of a few out-spoken
groups to wall us in securely at our continental boundaries,
more and more American students have decided
that Europe does really exist,
Faculty Feature .
and set out to find it. The tide
is, admittedly, not much in
evidence in Alabama. But this
is due probably to the fact
that few, if any, colleges in
the region offer study-abroad
programs, rather than to the
pessimistic but much-heard
assertion that the scope of
Southern thought is exceedingly
narrow.
Few nations of the Western
hemisphere a r e unblessed
with young American scholars.
Make-up-less, but ten-nis-
shoed, they are blissfully
reading Balzac on the banks
of the Seine; with laudable
efforts at unkept hair and
British accents, they have invaded
the sacred brown halls
of Oxford., And what sort of
life do they lead, these transplanted
Americans? One, it
would seem, that is exceptionally
rewarding. For what better
way to study the rise and
fall of the Hapsburg monarchy
than in historic Vienna? How
could one better learn to par-ler
francais than by living in
France and parler-ing it with
fellow students over a cup of
potent black coffee in a small
sidewalk cafe of the Rue St.
Germain? Though the appeal
is mostly to liberal-arts majors,
students of every academic
profession are finding
foreign study an invaluable
experience that enriches and
broadens the scope of their
thought and interests.
Probably the best of the
study-abroad programs, in
that it offers a program of accredited
study along with cultural
integration, is the Institute
for Eupropean Studies, a
non-profit making education
organization with headquarters
in Chicago. IES has three
programs in Europe: The Paris

(Germany). The programs

reasonable amount of language
proficiency, the largest
—Vie nna—does not. Enrollment
in Paris is for one year;
in Freiburg and Vienna, either
for one-half year (one semester)
or one year.
The semester program in
Vienna begins in early February
with a tour of Western
Europe. On arrival in Vienna
in March, the Institute secures
housing for the students, helps
them to schedule their courses
(which are offered in English
as well as German) and furnishes
most of their meals.
Through the institute, credits
earned at the University are
transferred to' the student's
American college.
Austria overflows with cultural
opportunities, as well as
the simpler joys (beer-drinking,
skiing, etc.). Students can
get standing room at the op- |
era, concerts, and theatre for
as little as 15 cents. Beer is
eight cents to 12 cents a bottle.
Classes are genuinely stimulating
and study is so closely
integrated with other aspects
of life that it ceases to be a
chore.
Because Austria is so centrally
located, many students
avail themselves of weekends
and holidays to travel independently
in the countryside,
or to neighboring Germany,
Switzerland, Italy, Hungary,
Czechoslovokia and Yugosla-slavia.
The common mode of travel
f o r European students is
hitch-hiking, which is safe,
interesting, and cheap. As another
concession to students,
most cities and villages in Europe
maintain youth hostels
costing as little as 20 cents a
night.

At the end of the semester
in Vienna, IES offers two optional
trips: one to Poland
and the Soviet Union, and one
covering Switzerland, Southern
France, and Spain.
Cost of the semester program
is $1,530; or the full-year
plan, $2,230. The Freiburg
program is somewhat
less expensive and the Paris
program, somewhat more. The
price includes transportation

Dr. Alan J. Shields
Criminology Professor Recognizes
Major Problems Of Our Society
By HUNTER SMITH
Seldom in life are we fortunate enough to meet a
person who not only recognizes the major and minor
problems of our society, who not only says something
about them, but who also does something about them.
Such a person is Dr. Alan J. Shields, professor of sociology
and criminology.
For more than three years,
he has made regular visits to
Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women
to talk to the inmates.
Says Dr. Shields, "The girls
seem more able to relax and
to tell their problems to someone
not connected with the
prison staff." This brings up
the value of the stranger in
society; the man sitting next
to you on the bus, your fellow
passenger on the plane.
Dr. Shields, a native Penn-sylvanian,
has also written articles
on the problems of alcohol
and the female offender.
One of these, which points out
the fact that alcoholism is usually
the after effect of or
"incidental to the commission
of the crime," was printed in
a booklet on "The Homeless
and Institutional Alcoholic,"
published by the Alabama
Commission On Alcoholism. A
story was printed in the Birmingham
News about, tli e
work of Mrs. Edwina Mitchell,
warden at Julia Tutwiler Prison,
and of Dr. Shields in the
area of rehabilitation. "These
are the women who have failed
at everything—jobs, marriage,
child-raising, including
crime. Women are overlooked
in the social problems. Alabama
has three major institutions
for males and only one
for females. Also, outside prison,
people are more willing
to accept and to hire a man
than a woman. There are
many variations of crimes and
offenders and each one has to
be handled in a different way.
Women haven't been given the
attention that they need to reestablish
themselves in society."
Dr. Shields once asked a girl
who was due for a parole if
she would be able to. 1 i v e

Historical Society
Enlivens History
Outside Classroom
By PAT FOOTE
Are you interested in history?
If this is your major or if this
is where your interest lies, do
you ever wonder where it
might lead after graduation or
graduate school days are over?
This question and several others
are dealt with by a campus organization,
the Auburn Historical
Society.
This is primarily an undergraduate
club, composed mostly
of history majors', but it is open
to graduate students and others
interested in the field as well.
First organized in 1961, the club
strives to give the history major
some sense of professional
participation in his chosen field.
Devoted to the appreciation and
understanding of the people,
events, and cultures of the past,
the Auburn club hopes one day
to become a part of Phi Alpha
Theta, the national history
honorary.
The monthly meetings of Auburn's
Historical Society are
usually held in one of the
rooms of Samford Hall and frequently
feature faculty and off-campus
speakers. The club's
activities are very helpful to
the history department. It assists
with the display for Village
Fair and at conferences
for professors. This year the
Alabama Historical Association
will hold its meeting at Auburn
and the club will help.
The club is also interested in
a contest which the Colonial
Dames of America are sponsoring.
For the school year 1963-
64, the Dames are offering a
$100 prize for the best essay
written on American colonial
history. The Auburn club is
backing this contest in the
hopes that one of it's members
will win.

he stated, "She said, 'No, I just
can't stand poverty'."
This man, who has been accused
by his wife of being "A
crusader," is now finishing his
dissertation for his Ph.D. from
the University of Texas on the
subject of the female offender.
He claims Cynwyd, "a town
with a good Welch name" near
Philadelphia,.. as his native
town. He. attained his degrees
from North Texas University
and the University of Texas.
In order to go to graduate
school, Dr. Shields taught the
social sciences at several high
schools in Texas. He came
with his- wife, daughter, and
two sons to Auburn in 1956.
Need more be said about
this "crusader's" knowledge
and concern for such a problem
in our society? In summation,
Dr. Shields stated,
"Society never accepts payment
for crime in full. It's a
shame and a waste to nullify
the first 40 years of a woman's
life because of one mistake.
The prisons will have to make
a choice, either to initiate a
more effective rehabilitation
program or to keep the women
in the prison. For without
the ability to readjust themselves
to the ''outside world'
they will turn their backs on
that society and will return to
the only one to which they can
adjust—the prison."

All Campus Fund Drive
A goal of $3700 has been set for this
year's All Campus Fund Drive to be
held Nov. 7-14. Numerous .activities
have been planned by campus organizations
to secure funds for the drive.
As a bit of historical information, the
all encompassing fund drive was established
in order to prevent students
f r om being consistently pestered
throughout the year for contributions
to every imaginable charity organization.
An especially appealing factor of this
year's drive is the 25% to be allocated
to the Auburn library. The new building
still needs books in great abundance.
It seeems only logical that the
students who use these pearls of wisdom
most should have a part in bearing
their cost. Other organizations receiving
benefits from this drive are the
Auburn Red Cross, Radio Free Europe,
National Mental Health Association, and
UNICEF (Nnited Nations International
Childrens Emergency Fund).
The important point is this. The gimmicks
or incentive factors of the fund
drive will be entertaining. They serve
the purppse of increasing donations.
We do not feel, however, that students
or staff should lose sight of the fact
^at their money is serving that element
of humanity which needs help
most.
We think that the general breakdown
of fund drive recipients is excellent. It
should erase all opposition to giving to
any one particular source. A critic of
the United Nations and UNICEF, for
instance, should bear in mind that 15%
of the total collection is going to Radio
Free Europe. He might well consider'
his individual contribution going tci
this one source.
We would like for students -to feel
that giving to the All Campus Fund
Drive is an opportunity. There are so
few occasions these days when our humanitarian
values are permitted to be
displayed.
Education On The Offense
We noticed an article in a publication
called For Your Information, published
by the Association of State Universities
and Land-Grant Colleges,
which gave much credit to a column
published by the heads of Auburn's
School of Education. This particular
column, written by Dean Truman M.
Pierce and Dr. Robert Saunders, assistant
dean, is given some credit for
influencing state legislators to vote a
record $40 million for Alabama public
education.
This particular column deals with the
economic and social benefits of education,
increasing enrollments, and the
consequent increasing responsibilities
of public institutions. The potential of
public education will never be realized
unless the "man on the street" is a firm
believer in this truly American institution-
There is an increasing demand for
education forces to be more aggressive.
We can no longer sit back in our academic
hideaways and hope that the outside
world will not disturb us.
We must disturb the outside world.
Administrative forces must become
lobbyists in the purest sense of the
term. Education is indeed "Alabama's
Number One Opportunity". This awareness
is the reason that the presidents
of Auburn University, the University Of
Alabama, and Alabama College stumped
the state last year in efforts to obtain
the money that education forces
required to continue their programs.
The Auburn School of Education column
has received wide distribution
through the efforts of the Alabama
Press Association and the Alabama
Broadcasters Association. This is an encouraging
sign. The mass communications
media must feel and assume much
of the responsibility for the state's educational
progress.
One has only to look to the State of
Georgia to see the tremendous public
relations job accomplished by education
forces. That state no longer fights to
stay off the bottom in education appropriation
lists. It is fighting to place itself
among the leaders. Georgia citizens
are becoming increasingly aware
of educational activities in their state.
This is the job that Alabama education
must do. We are pleased to see Auburn
among those forces getting that first
foot in the door.

Wallace In Boston.'.
For The Sake Of Traditional Honor,
Let Us AH Attempt To Understand
By Harry Hooper .
It was unique, especially after
the last few weeks, that
Governor Wallace was accepted
quite well in Boston Sunday.
It. speaks well of the people
in Boston.
Wallace made an impressive
showing even though initially
newsmen were less than hispi-table.
He came through an intensive
attempt by newsmen to
shatter his beliefs with flying
colors. We can be proud- of
George Wallace in Boston.
Following the news conference
Wallace met with several
Alabama students at Harvard.
Then he met with Governor
Phillip Hoff of Vermont in a
televised discussion on civil
rights.
This is a sterling example of
an effort to gain understanding
by both parties. Some northern
groups seemed to think
they could solve the South's
racial problem without trying
to learn the other side. They
are the ones that invited Wallace
to speak and then revoked
the invitation on the excuse of
outside pressure. It could have
well been that they had this in
mind to begin with in an attempt
to' embarrass him.
But not all northerners are
like this—nor all southerners.
Some men have the courage to
listen to the other side and
. even to change if they find they
:haye taken the wrong stand.
So Wallace and Hoff talked.
Some men find it convenient
to ignore the other side of the
situation. Som,e men do not
have strength in their convictions
and are therefore afraid
to discuss the situation for fear
of finding they have been
wrong. These men can look to
Wallace and to Hoff for guidance.
They found it wise to discuss.
There are those who see the
only problem being one of
maintaining the status quo.
They see no need to discuss.
They see no need to understand.
WaUace and Hoff saw a
need to understand, though
each had faith in his 'conviction.
Perhaps "ho one on earth
knows the real solution to the
"social revolution" the South
and indeed the United States
now faces. Some propose solutions.
Some outline definite
plans of action. Some wring
clammy hands and cry out that
there is no solution.
But truly there must be. Wallace
and Hoff were taking what
must be the initial step—an attempt
at fully understanding.
They knew that the answer
could not lie in bloodshed and
rioting. They knew that.
So it is up to each of us—if
we love our South—to decide
whether we will act with calm
courage, with full belief in our
convictions whatever they are
if they have been reasoned out,
and with full understanding
when we come face-to-face
with the racial problem.
•For the sake of the South,
for the sake of our tradition
of honor, let us act as Wallace
and Hoff. Let us understand.
Let us be sincere in our beliefs
and actions.
Yea America
While We Sing Along With Fred
It's Peanuts, Popcorn, Politics,
By Hunter Smith
Auburn social organizations have
maintained a long tradition of "open
parties". Anyone and everyone on the
campus is normally welcome at any given
party.
It appears that this is one tradition
which cannot last much longer. Physical
property damage has become somewhat
commonplace at fall parties. Much
of this wanton destruction has been attributed
directly to guests of a particular
host organization.
Obviously, such conduct is an atrocious
example of individual manners.
This fact, however, seems to have little
meaning to those who have no value
for private property. Perhaps the warning
by several social organizations that
future parties may be limited to members
will have some affect on these people.
We feel that this "open party" policy
is one which is somewhat beneficial to
the atmosphere of campus unity. Its
discontinuation would be most unfortunate.
The warning is clear. It seems
so ridiculous to have to tell college students
that they are not supposed to destroy
property when attending campus
parties. One can always find a trite individual
at the end of any trite comment.
A Contested Election
A complaint has been filed against
poll officials in the School of Chemistry
for allegedly trying to influence voters
in Thursday's campus elections. This
case went before the Student Senate after
press time last night. Although our
details are consequently somewhat incomplete,
we consider it highly unlikely
that a person could file such a charge
with no foundation for his gripe.
Such an occurrence is highly unethical.
If the Senate finds the complaint
to be justified, we would recommend
the following actions. 1) Hold a revote
in the School of Chemistry. 2) Direct
the superintendent of political affairs
to bar guilty individuals from future
service at the polls. 3) Release details
on the case for public information. If
any of the charged individuals are
found guilty, we have no obligation to
protect them from justifiable criticism.
We have a free, liberty-loving
democratic nation. Yea
America! It's the strongest nation
in the world. We should be
proud of it. Every man has the
right to vote and to elect the
best man for the job! Yea
America! Yea the right to vote!
Let's all sing the "Star Spangled
Banner" and work up some
good ole enthusiasm
Let's have an election and
use that right to vote! Americans
have the intelligence to
choose the right and most
qualified man for the office.
How about Jones here? We
could run him.
No! He'd never get elected.
He's said too much about how
he feels. Said too much and
taken too much of a stand. Bad
man.
Well, take Fred.
Could be. He's not too well
known. Done a couple of pretty
good things. Not too many
people against him cause he
hasn't said too much of anything
one way or the other. He
has the best chance of not offending
too many people.
Yea! Run Fred.
Where's he from anyway?
I don't know. I'll find out.
Let's elect Fred! He's promised
to keep our great, invincible
nation out of war! He
LOVES America. He said so.
You know ole Fred. He always
keeps his word. Say, where's

You know, Fred just might
win this election?! He got at
least 200 votes when he spoke
in the park at Smalltown. Kept
'em laughin' for an hoiir and a
half. They love him. I like to
see a man with a sense of humor.
Yep. Sure looks like he's gonna
get elected. We'll have done
a pretty great thing when we
get him elected. Never worked
so hard in my life. Say, you
ever met Fred? . . . . Me, neither.
Boy, that Fred's great! Said
he hated the Russians and that
he'd fight communism! Said
something should be done about
the Cold War. He's right! Yea
Fred! I'll vote for any man who
feels that strongly about something!
Say, why didn't they
nominate Jones? . . . Oh yeah,
he was too definite, thought
too strongly.
Good ole Fred! He talks on
my level. Home town sort of
fellow. Not that high-fallutin',
schollarly type that thinks so
much. Said he'd look after my
rights!
He won! He won! Fred's won!
He was my candidate! I voted
for Fred! He'll show everybody!
He can get us out of anything!
We're safe! He got himself
out of school in the fifth
grade.

Legislative Purpose And Methods | y .
By Undo Lightsey | ¥ 16 WS
WSGA President
A little enthusiasm and interest
on the part of us all is
not too much to pay for a successful
Women's Student Government
Association. Judging
from the spirit and the plans
made for this year, from the
eagerness, of the students to
work, and from the efforts already
exhibited, WSGA has a
good year ahead of her.
I wish I had a penny for
every time I have heard WSGA
referred to as an "unnecessary"
body or an "organization which
makes rules so it can punish
girls for, breaking them." I
would be rich!
Possibly one Of the .reasons
for this negative feeling concerning
WSGA is a lack of understanding
due to the poor
communication between the
legislative council and the..student
body. All of our rules are
made by the women students—
not by Dean Cater or the administration.
All of our rules
have a purpose -behind them,
but whether this purpose is
out dated is for the women to
decide and for the women students
to do something about.
The problem seems to be—are
the women students "concerned"
enough with their dissatisfaction
of the rules to do something?
Or is it lack of communication
and understanding? Do
they realize that it is possible
to change the rules?
WSGA has a rules committee
which is in the process of an
extensive evaluation of the
rules to be presented at our
workshop in the spring. If you
have any questions concerning
the plans of this group or suggestions
as to rule changes, contact
me or one of the co-chairmen,
Diane Abercrombie, or
Camilla Hamilton.
Besides rule-making, WSGA
sponsors a number of activities
and projects of which the benefits
are sometimes taken for
granted or not even associated
with WSGA.
The Junior Counselor System,
tried this years for the first
time, has been a most successful
project in helping the freshmen
and women adjust to college
life. The twenty junior
counselors living within the
freshmen dorms have done an
excellent job of helping the
freshmen women not only learn
the dules of the Co-etiquette,
but also in helping them to establish
an enthusiastic and positive
attitude toward WSGA.
The fact that no one failed the
test on the rules, that an extremely
high per cent of freshmen
voted in the recent WSGA
election, and that more and
more freshmen women are becoming
interested and are taking
active parts in WSGA and
other campus activities is evidence
that our junior counselors
and their additional guidance
have ,been successful.
Another goal of WSGA is to
encourage higher scholarship.
A trophy donated by Mortar
Board will be presented by the
Scholarship Committee to the
dormitory with the highest over
all average. And it is my hope
that this additional emphasis
placed on the grades of the
dormitory, not the sorority,
will give the independent and
sorority girls something important
to ^rork on together.
Convocation, a r e q u i r ed
meeting of all the Women students
is another aspect of
WSGA. These meetings are all
necessary, and there are only
Jive a year. Our second convocation
is scheduled for November
11 in the Student Act
Building. Although few gentlemen
attend these meetings,
they are always welcome, and
I would like to see more come.
Religious, Social, and Campus
Relations Committees of
WSGA have also made some
excellent p l a n s concerning
dormitory devotions, a campus
wide Christmas program, parties,
and panel discussions.
They welcome any suggestions
you wish to offer.
Auburn Women's Student
Government Association can be
of great benefit to us, if we take
advantage of it. WSGA jigeds
our interest, hejjjT """
and participatigpg's?^;; /
Introspectives
Students Deal With Real Problem,
That Of Racially Integrated Auburn
By Bobby Boetteher
Last Sunday the Interdenominational
Committee on Better
Human Relations met with six
students of Tuskegee Institute
to discuss that subject which so
many of us refuse to consider
with any objectivity—the inevitable
admission of Negro
students to Auburn University.
It was most encouraging to witness
a group of realistic people
facing this prospect cooly, and
a far cry from the general
"head-in-the-sand" attitude or
t h e extreme cross-burning
technique of recent years here.
These students were dealing
with a very real problem. It is
one with whioh all of us—by
our very presence here—are
faced. As students of a racially
integrated Auburn of the future,
they expressed concern
over a number of problems
pertinent to our local situation.
We would do well too consider
these: In a hostile atmosphere,
is it not right that the university
should increase its protection
of endangered students in keeping
with its responsibilities to
the safety and conduct of all
students? Surely this kind of
regard for the welfare of students
cannot justly lay the university
open to charges of "preferential
treatment". What
would the attitude of the Negro
student be toward his partici
pation in campus social activities
and clubs? Would he be
patient with reluctant white
students? Apparently he feels
that it would be prudent at
first to take advantage of these
elements on campus disposed
to be friendly to him, and allow
the rest of the campus
enough time to accept him fully,
rather than further alienating
unfriendly sectors through
provocation. What about the
white student who befriends
the Negro student? Will he be
deserted by his white friends
and left on an isolated "island"
with the Negro? This is a problem
which can be resolved
only by an examination of our
own integrity.
Although each participating
student on both sides was obviously
sincere, a certain superficiality
was soon discernible.
Much time was being spent in
tedious discussion of how the
Negro student would want to
be treated at Auburn. The Tuskegee
students stated that they
would only wish to be given the
opportunity to develop their
capabilities in a non^hostile environment.
The ensuing long
discussion concerned the white
students' granting the Negro
the privilege of equality and
consideration as an individual.
At this point I gasped at realizing
the infinitely wide gap
separating these two groups of
students.
How sad it is that we white
students, brought up as we
have been, are unable to see
that to labor the point of basic
individual rights is absurd. We
cannot confer upon anyone that
which is inherent. If an Auburn
student is qualified, he
should be allowed to join the
football squad, or the concert
choir, or any other such organ- ,
ization if he so desires. The color
of his skin is irrelavent, and
his right to opportunity is un-debateable.
The absuridity of the historic
doctrine of "separate but
equal" became tragicaly apparent
last Sunday as intelligent
white students . found themselves
groping for conversation
with intelligent Negro students.
Completely cut off from each
other all their lives, these two
groups found that they had
grown up in the same society
without ever really learning
anything about each other.
Naivete born of dissassociation
came to the fore as whites
asked Negroes if they actually
felt they were inferior to
whites.
Shocked at our ignorance of
the nature of our fellow man,
I returned home convinced that
many more such meetings are
needed.
1 By HARRY WILKINSON |
With the flick of a match, a
flame leaps upward to the sky.
The repugnant smell of charred
human flesh abounds in
the streets. Another Buddhist
m o n k has
donated his
body. to the
G h a n d ian
principle of
" s a t y a gra
ha" or truth
f o r c e : the
essence of
non- violent
resistance.
The u n furling
story
of S o u th
Viet Nam is even now an incomplete
one. Yet its conclusion
has been recorded thousands
of times in the pages of
history.
The brothers N g o Dinh
Diem and Ngo Dinh Nhu are
reported to be dead. It is no
surprise. They, like Batista,
have brought it upon themselves.
The population of
South Viet Nam is approximately
70 per cent Buddhist.
A government which makes
no effort to reach accord with
a large segment of its population
is bound to be overthrown.
The first step is nonviolent
protest. Its symbol is
its martyrs, the nuns and
monks who have burned their
bodies in the streets. Such action
is a desperation plea to
avoid revolution. It is the
"handwriting on the wall," the
final plea to the leaders for
relief from oppression. The
flames carry the bitter wail
of "We shall overcome some
day." They ask why a nation
must go through the hell of
physical violence in order to
obtain the natural rights of
human beings.
The United States is interested
in South Viet Nam. War
is being, waged there against
the forces of communism. The
new government is a military
junta. Gen. Doung Van Minh
is the new leader. He has been
a central figure in the country's
opposition to communist
Viet Cong forces. This- country
has already committed itself
to recognition of the new
government. President Kennedy
has expressed a desire to
resume economic and military
aid to the country as soon as
signs of some stability appear.
We are caught in a vice. Our
purpose in Viet Nam is basically
military. Maintenance of a
physical line of resistance is
our chief objective. South Viet
Nam has great strategic value.
On the other hand, we are the
disciples of democracy and cannot
publicly condone or even
be silent about such matters
as religious persecution.
The forces of world communism
will charge that intervention
by t h e United
States is the cause for the
overthrow of the "legitimate"
Vietnamese government. It
is even conceivable that the
United States participated to
some degree in the planning
of the insurrection. The point
is that all of these are political
factors. They are not the
ultimate causes of revolution.
Cultural factors will always
supercede political aspects as
the primary reasons for internal
and external conflicts. The
basis for strife may be religious,
social, economic, political,
or ethnic in nature. When
,the political demerit attempts
to utilize any one or a combination
of these cultural factors
against the express wishes
of the governed, conflict is
in the making. Depending upon
the strength of the political
system, visible signs of chaos
may be imminent' or long
range.
The beautiful Madame Nhu
may rant her charges of U.S.
"imperialism" until the end of
time, but she will never see
the day that three Roman Catholics
can persecute seven
Buddists and get away with it.
Madame Nhu is the modern
day Cleopatra of the Orient.
Her physical attributes only
serve to hide the frenzied mind
of rampant despotism. She too
is one of those who has failed
to learn the nature of her own
culture. Madame Nhu did not
know the story.
Ghandi knew that British
colonialists could not exist as
the dominant power in India
at the expense of the Indian
people. Roy Wilkins a l so
knows the story of revolution
in Viet Nam.

ANNUAL CONTEST
All interested students at
Georgia Tech this year will
have an opportunity to design
the cover of the Blue Print, the
Annual. Students with talent
in the fields of commercial and
industrial design are urged to
enter a full scale drawup of
the design, and fifty dollars will
be awarded to the designer
whose plan is accepted. In addition,
this students name will
be engraved on a plaque which
will hang in the Student Activities
Building. It is hoped
that this incentive for students
to practice in their fields of study
will become a permanent
tradition.

GREEK'S GRADES SHOW RISE,
TOP INDEPENDENT AVERAGE
Scholarship averages of fraternity
members throughout
the nation's colleges have shown
a constant rise for the past
decade until they now exceed
the all-men's averages on a
majority of campuses where
fraternities are located.
The final figures for the academic
year, 1961-62, show that
the all-fraternity average exceeded
the all-men's average in
58.1% of the colleges reporting,
according to an analysis just
released by the National Inter-fraternity
Conference. For the
academic term ten years previous
(1952-53), only 40.7% of
the schools reported fraternity
averages as being above the
all-men's averages.
Accompanying the increase in
the number of schools with a
superior all-fraternity average
has been a similar improvement
in the nationwide percentage of
individual fraternity chapters
above the all-men's averages.
During 1961-62, 48.8% of all
fraternity chapters reporting
were above their respective all-men's
averages, whereas only
41.9% could show a superior
rank ten years earlier.
The percentages were based
on those chapters from whom
comparable data were available,
comprising over three-fourths
of all fraternity chapters
in the United States and
Canada. In actual numbers,
they were 1469 chapters out of
a total of 3008 above the all- |
men's averages in 1961-62, compared
with 1134 chapters out of
a total of 2707 in 1952-53.
During the same 1961-62 reporting
year, 35 institutions
qualified for the Summa Cum
Laude rating for especially superior
fraternity scholarship.
This rating is awarded when
every fraternity chapter on a
campus is above the all-men's
average during an academic
year. Of the 35 schools, 16 a-chieved
the same distinction
two years in succession.
The comparative ratings and
data were developed from official
records supplied directly by
the institutions and processed
by the scholarship reporting
service of the National Inter-fraternity
Conference on a
comparable basis, according to
Dr. Z. L. Loflin, chairman of
the mathematics department of
University of Southwestern
Louisiana and chairman of the
NIC Scholarship Committee.
DuPont Manager
Speaks Thursday
John A. Laberee, Southern
district manager, extension
division of E. I. duPont de
Nemours and Company, will
speak tomorrow morning at 8
a.m. in Thach 208. Subject of
the address will be "The Menace
of the Misinformed."
Students and faculty are invited
to attend the lecture, according
to Dr. Frank M. Hern-don,
professor of education,
who arranged Laberee's appearance.
Laberee has been with du
Pont since 1954. Before assuming
his present position, he
was engaged in international
public relations for the du
Pont Company. In World War
II he served as an intelligence
officer with the Air Force.
He w a s graduated from
Wesleyan University, and did
post-graduate work at Harvard
and the University of
Paris.
Laberee travels extensively.
In the past five years he has
appeared before hundreds of
college and university audiences,
educators, civic clubs, industrial
conferences, and]
technical societies. I
campus operator, campus extensions
may be reached directly
from outside phones by dialing

of patters ' showing the traffic
movement away from the campus
on Saturday afternoon after
a ballgame.
"The Grapes of Wrath"—The
story of a young man who
found his own way of solving
the alcohol problem, and his
roommate's anger upon finding
that the vines had overgrown
his bunk.
"Gone With the Wind"—The
suspense-filled tale of the disappearance
of a small slender
college girl who liked to wear
very large hats.

'Best Sports Coverage In The SEC
:THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 6, 1963 PAGE SIX
Reflections . . .
Being the usual pessimist that we are, we usually start
worrying about next week's game the minute that the final
whistle sounds on Saturday afternoon. We have always believed
that a football schedule should be played one game at
a time—and that victories (or losses) should be forgotten
before Monday's practice session.
But last Saturday we witnessed a victory that we won't
forget for quite a while—even in the face of the encounter
with a tough Mississippi State Bulldog eleven in three short
days. For the decisive win that our Tigers posted over the
Florida Gators was 60 minutes of football that can not be forgotten
easily—if at all. If the young Tigers don't even record
another win this season, they will still have plenty to be proud
of—and so will every student and fan of Auburn University!
What makes a homecoming weekend as perfect as this
one was? A good game... good weather . . . good parties .. . .
victory? Yes—all of that, and more. Much , more. More that
the students and alumni don't know about—and never will.
Hours of work—no, weeks of work—by many to make 47,000
people (minus Florida fans) gratefully happy.
Limited space doesn't allow us to even begin to give credit
to all of those to whom it is due. We guess you could start with
Auburn . .. the giant complex, ancient thing called "Auburn
football". Dedicated people . . . coaches, staff, athletes . . .
• all with at least one trait in common: the desire to make Au-
_ burn the best football team in the land. A dedicated student
body . . .that's important, too.
' As we sat perched high up in the pressbox last Saturday,
waiting for the kickoff that was sure to come, we thought about
this concept called "Auburn football". And as we thought, we
noticed the happenings below us in Cliff Hare Stadium. The sort
_ of .things that you don't notice . . . because you don't love
"Auburn football" the way we do—nor as much as we do.
They Look Tiny . . .
Ever wondered what those people that appear so tiny
way up in the pressbox do while you are pushing in line, eager
~ to get into your section, open your program, take off your coat
| and pour that first drink? We can't answer that completely . . .
i but. we can relay our thoughts, just in case any of you might
;• be interested. And if you have read this far you are interested.
\ ., First of all, we kept thinking "They can't lose . . . they
j ' j u s t cannot ... . the setting is too perfect." The largest crowd in
I history nudged into the portals, and as they emerged two at a
»' ^ime from the tunnels, the vast emptiness of Cliff Hare seemed
l^to swallow them up. Only a neat row of brown-clad Boy Scouts
^separated one empty section from another.
j ; The wind was blowing from the north-northwest at a
' gusty, shifting 15 knots. The grassy slopes, for which "standing
room only" tickets were sold, began to fill first. The press box
__ was full beyond its capacity—programs were scarce. The en-
"~ compassing sky was icy blue, with not a cloud to be seen. The
students wailed their first cheer at 1:15 p.m.—a weak "WARRR
EAGLLLLE", gathering volume as others caught on.
"Florida Next . . ."
They unveiled a rolled-up banner—"We Wrecked Tech—
Florida Next", it proclaimed. And somehow, it left little doubt
that Florida was indeed "next". Like old times, we thought, reminiscing
of days when Auburn had the number one student
spirit in the nation. And that wasn't too awfully long ago.
The Gators dashed onto the field—through the goalposts,
as if this was some tradition of theirs—perhaps it was. "Tiger
-meat, Tiger meat" chanted the heckling students. And then we
""•noticed that the Gators were dressed out in white uniforms,
Xjust. as Auburn usually does for all of their home games. At
i~J:30 p.m. the loudspeaker system boomed out to those fans
Estill in line outside—and they were many: the lines snaked all
f*^he way back to Thach Avenue—to "enter through any gate,
?Zli your gate is crowded". And crowded they were.
| • Cheerleader Johnny Jeffers urged the student chants on—
i"5and uncorked the fabled "spirit jug" to test it before the kick-
; off. The brillant burnt orange sweaters that the cheerleaders
*were decked out in offered striking contrast against the parch-
•ed-green turf.
The Noise Makers . . .
The Auburn band marched out. And the students used this
occasion for another excuse to cheer. Like old times, we thought
again. By this time the vast emptiness of Cliff Hare was beginning
to show evidence of the thousands that were shuffling
in—and it presented a scene not unlike that of an ant hill. With
"• every fan that scuffed inside progress was made toward the record

Tigers Duel Mississippi State
In Search Of Seventh Victory
RUTBERG
Maroons Formidable Threat
To Undefeated AU Tigers
By GERALD RUTBERG
Prowling for their seventh consecutive victory, Auburn's
description-defying Tigers meet the rugged Bulldogs
of Mississippi State this Saturday at 2 p.m. in
Mississippi Memorial Stadium at Jackson, Miss.
Jimmy Sidle and his equally creditable counterparts
enter this all-important strug- r e l i n q u i s h i n g M a r o o n r e a l es_
tate. Alabama a n d Memphis
State had to fight for every
offensive inch before they
managed to subdue the hard-hosed
Bulldog line led by AU-SEC
junior, Pat Watson, a
guard. Quarterback for the
Mississippians is Sonny Fisher,
a 5'9" sparkplug.
Auburn's attack is centered
around Ail-American candidate
Sidle and about 35 other
young men who have come
along rapidly in gaining experience
while recording six
straight victories.
Larry Rawson, George Rose,
and Tucker Frederickson complete
the first unit backfield,
with Doc Griffith, Don Lewis,
David Rawson, Franklin Fuller,
and John Cochran dividing
backfield chores on the alternate
unit, which is also directed
by Sidle.
Billy Edge, Bill Cody, Phillip
Creel, and Jimmy Partin
complete the Tiger backfield
corps, with Cody having returned
a pass interception 42
yards against Florida in his
last outing.
Not to be overlooked in
handing out plaudits is the
Auburn line which has been
outweighed but never outplayed.
Progressing rapidly,
the Tiger forward wall has
gained the necessary experience.

Auburn a n d Mississippi,
leaders in the Southeastern

their leads in the race with
convincing wins over Florida

nosed out Mississippi State to
hang close behind the leaders
in good position to advance.
LSU and Georgia Tech follow
Alabama with an outside
chance of overtaking the leaders.

Jim Sidle Chosen
Most Outstanding
Chosen to receive the Omi-cron
Delta Kappa Award as
the "Most Outstanding Player"
in the 1963 homecoming game
was Jimmy Sidle by unanimous
vote of 30 members of
the Sports Writers Association
of America, covering the Auburn-
Florida game Saturday.
Presentation of this coveted
honor was made on Sunday
afternoon, Nov. 3, on the
"Snug Jordan Show" televised
over the facilities of WSFA-TV,
Montgomery, Ala.
Chris Akin, 1963 Homecoming
Queen, appeared on the
program to tender the symbolic
trophy of achievement.
Sidle carried the pigskin 18
times for 154 yards and one
touchdown in demonstrating a
glittering array of talent for
the 47,000 students, alumni,
and guests, who jammed Cliff
Hare Stadium on a perfect
football afternoon. Jimmy also
connected on four passes good
for 70 yards, and his rushing
average was a phenominal 8.5
yards per carry.
In total yardage, Sidle out-gained
the entire Florida team
by almost 50 yards, and further
strengthened his bid for
All-American honors.
Perhaps the true calibre of
a genuine All-American youth
shone most brightly however,
when Sidle, upon presentation
of the trophy, stated that none
of his success would have been
possible without the aid and
encouragement of his teammates.

Of Recent Years
Display Otfense
The A u b u r n - Mississippi
State football series, which
began in 1905, has gained a
reputation in recent years for
offensive contests a n d high
scoring.
The Tigers h a v e met the
Bulldogs, also known as the
Maroons, on t h e gridiron 36
times since 1905. Auburn holds
a slight edge in t h e series,
having posted 21 wins against
13 losses and two ties. Since
Ralph Jordan has been head
coach on the Plains, the War
Eagles h o l d a commanding
7-2-1 lead.
Only twice since 1942 has
the winner of this nearly-annual
contest scored less than
two touchdowns. Last season,
the hard running of Tucker
Frederickson helped the crippled
Tigers to a 9-3 homecoming
victory.
After losing six consecutive
clashes with t h e Plainsmen,
the Bulldogs made good a
two-point conversion attempt
and upset Auburn 11-10 in
1961.
Auburn thrashed the Maroons
34-0 in 1913, thus posting
the largest margin of victory
in the series, but the
most total points were scored
in the 1952 contest, which State
won, 49-34.

Freshman Cagers
Continue Practice
By TED HILEY
The Auburn Freshman basketball squad, under the
direction of Coach Rudy Davalos, began their second
week of practice this week in preparation for their
1963-64 season which opens on Dec. 3, against Alabama
Christian College in Auburn.
The starting five players at
'Out On A Limb9
this point are as follows: At
one forward is Jimmy Montgomery
from Kitrell High in
Tennessee. Montgomery was
an All-State selection in Tennessee
and set an all time
scoring record for the state of
Tennessee by tallying over 4,-
000 points during his high
s c h o o l career. Montgomery
stands a rugged 6' 2" and is
regarded as being an excellent
shot.
The other starting forward
is 6'2" Joe Millsap of Danville,
Ala. Millsap led his team to
the Alabama Class "A" championship
in 1962 and 1963 and
was selected as the Most Valuable
Player in the 1963 State
Tournament.
At guards are Tee Faircloth,
an All-Stater from Fort Valley,
Ga., and Bobby Buisson
•of New Orleans, La. Both
Faircloth and Buisson have
impressive scoring r e c o r ds
from their high school days,
days.
Currently holding down the
center position is 6'4" Randy
T h o m a s , a non-scholarship
player f r o m Montgomery's
Lanier High School.
While the previously mentioned
five are in the starting
position now, Coach Davalos
says that no player has his
position won and t h e boys
with hustle a n d willingness
will get their chance. There
are nine other players looking
for an opportunity to get into
the lineup and these include
the following: Buddy Edwards,
John Chestnut, Haley
Milligan, Ronny Jones, David
Wilder, Tommy Barnes, John
Wilcox, John Caruthers and
Miles Butler.
The managers for this year's
frosh team are Alan Hinds and
Ronnie Nunn.
Coach Davalos is optimistic
as the season approaches but
still maintains a wait and see
attitude concerning his team's
prospects for the season. The
Tiger frosh are working out of
the basic shuffle offense and
are beginning to adapt themselves
to the ball control offense
and show good potential
for a winning season.

Soccer Club Faces Shorter College
In Saturday Battle At Rome, Georgia
By UWE E. K. ROTHE
The Auburn Soccer Club
will encounter Shorter College
in Rome, Ga. this Saturday.
Shorter College will be out to
revenge the two losses to Auburn
last season, one witnessed
by the largest crowd at an
AU soccer game, yet they will
be met by an experienced AU
club which is on the rebound
from their loss to the OGMS
team a few weeks ago.
Coach Ben Shabo has since
then been working on getting
the team to play more coherently
than they did against
OGMS. By setting up a sequence
of plays, Shabo hopes
to move the ball faster to
support a quick break offensive
attack to be used in future
games.
A player with extra incentive
for the upcoming game
will be Carl Harris who hails
from Rome, Ga. Carl is president
and one of the oldest
members of the club. Though
short in size, Carl is fast and
tricky. During his playing
time at Auburn he has played
at either halfback, inside or
wing, scoring on numerous occasions.
Shorter will keep an
eye on him since one of the
scoring occasion's happened
against them last year in
Rome, yl '
Following* the Shorter Col-legcgauiiei
Auburn will meet
Maxwell; &Q.S. ,for the first
home game. This game ought
to be a thriller for both spectators
and players alike as the
big and powerful flyboys take
on the small but tricky Tigers.

thus no detail was lacking in perfection. The students, six full
sections of them, stood out noticably darker against the surrounding
alumni and "old folks." Don't know why, unless it
was because their eyeballs were more blood-shot from the Friday
night parties. The band played the national anthym.
The Auburn Tigers kicked off to the Florida Gators—
you know the rest. The Tiger line fought like Marines at Iwo
Jima . . . Larry Rawson ran as if he would die tomorrow . . .
Jimmy Sidle played his usual part, running, passing and leading
. . . Tucker Frederickson ran and blocked . . . George Rose
mowed down opposing ends the way they should be cut
down . . . Woody Woodall kicked two field goals to tie Ed Dyas'
record . . . Bill Cody linebacked and batted down passes . . .
and the 1963 version of "Auburn football" recorded their sixth
straight victory to make homecoming perfect for all of us.
They just don't make words to describe the Tiger line
play. Some people were out-weighed by 40 pounds. But pounds
of heart count more than pounds of muscle and bone. So effective
was the blocking and tackling that Florida didn't get a
first down until six minutes remained in the first half.
"Failed To Gain . . ."
No Auburn back lost ground until barely nine minutes remained
in the first half. Things were different for Dup.ree and
his friends, though. "The play failed to gain," boomed out Buddy
Davidson over the pressbox PA system again and again. And
the plays did fail to gain—through no fault of the Gators,
though.
Yes, 1963 was a "good" homecoming. It was the result of
much hard and uncredited work by many persons. Team work—
because that is the way "Auburn football" operates. "When the
going gets tough, the tough gets going"—this little-known, seldom-
seen motto that hangs proudly in the Tiger dressing room
was designed for such afternoons as last Saturday. And it
was prompted by such displays of courage as we witnessed Saturday.
Win, lose, or draw—we will not soon forget the Tigers
that we saw them defeat Florida 19-0 last week.
7—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, November 6, 1963
By GEORGE STALLARD
Being four weeks away
from this season's initial basketball
clash with Howard at
Auburn, Dec. 3, Coach Joel
Eaves is steadily priming his
1963-64 v a r s i t y basketball
squad.
The first two weeks of practice
were primarily devoted to
offensive work, and each week
thus far has progressively
sharpened the Auburn Cagers.
Auburn's famous shuffle offense
will be changed somewhat
this year, reports Coach
Eaves, but that is an every-year
thing. It never stays the
same. However, the fans probably
will not notice any difference.
Veterans J o h n Blackwell
and Joe Newton' and sophomore
Lee DeFore . have, been
most impressive in practice.
Larry Cart, a starting guard
last season, has been dismissed
from the squad for disciplinary
reasons.
Coach Eaves has been running
Blackwell in .Cart's place
at guard with Larry Chapman
at the adjacent position. Freddie
Guy and DeFore are operating
at the corner post posi*
tions, while Newton is a bit
ahead of Ou r.t. O'Daniel .at
center.
The guard spot vacated by
Cart has o n l y caused Mike
Keeble, Herb Greene,. Tommy
Fibbe and Tim Pearson to
fight harder for the coveted
starting role.
Still the problem is replacing
center Layton Johns, the
SEC's most valuable player
last year. Joe Newton; now
the primary candidate, and
Johns vary in method and
style.
"Newton will be more the
move type," Eaves said. "He's
not as powerful or as strong
as Johns."
•Coach Eaves, perhaps n ot
too optimistic with only four
lettermen returning, still is
anxious however to prove Auburn's
place in the tough SEC.

Several Activities Featured
In Heavy Intramural Action
By BILL POWELL
Teams undefeated in intramural football with only
three weeks left to play are: League one, SN; League
two, ATO and KA; League three, PKA; and League four
PKP and PKT.
Intramural activity last week was filled with upsets,
offense, and speed swimming.
In football, LCA surprised TX
by beating them for their first
game this fall. Offense was a
big factor in many other
games as seven teams scored
more than three touchdowns
in winning their games. The
speed swimming was seen in
what, according to Intramural
Coach Robert Evans was the
largest a n d most successful
IM swimming meet in 22
years. LCA won the meet followed
by ATO and PDT.
League One
SN took over the lead in
fraternity football in league
one by beating SC 20-0. Bill
Bullock, SN quarterback, accounted
for all three touchdowns
as he passed for two
and ran the other one. Bullock's
TD passes were to Fra-zier
Hollis and Dexter Brooks.
Going into the game SN and
SC were tied for first place
with 3-0 records.
TKE won their first game of
'the season as they scored in
the first three periods while
holding DSP to a single tally.
Final score was TKE 19-DSP
6.
Other action in league one
found DTD squeezing by PGD
6-0. The only TD came late in
the third period. Both teams
are tied for third place with
two wins and two losses each.
League Two
The ATO's protected their
perfect record by beating the
SAE's 12-2. Quarterback Stan
Songer put ATO in the lead to
stay on the second play of the
game as he passed 50 yards to
Ronnie Sallee for the touchdown.
No other scoring was
done until SAE got a safety
late in t h e fourth quarter.
Then on the last play of the
game Songer again found a
receiver on downfield and
passed to Jerry Triplett for a
TD that covered 70 yards. ,
The KA's kept even with
ATO by trampling AP 22-0.
KA tallied once in every quarter
while their fine defense
smothered any drives attempted
by AP.

two was a defensive battle between
DC and TC. DC managed
to beat the TC's by a
score of 6-0.
League Three
PKA stands ahead of everyone
with a record of 4-0 which
was defeated last week against
KS. PKA displayed their offensive
attack by scoring twice
in each half and thus crushing
KS 25-0.
The upset of the week occurred
when LCA edged past
TX to give TX their only loss
of the season.
The game was a close, hard
fought battle, but fired-up
LCA won 7-6.
The remaining g a m e in
league three was between SP
and OTS. This game was a
mild upset as the SP's w on
their first game, beating OTS
19-0.
League Four
PKP won its fourth straight
game this season as they
whipped BP 26-0. Rich Robinson
was the offensive star of
the game as he passed for
three TD's and caught one
himself.
PKT remained undefeated
as they beat PDT 12-0. Their
record is now 3-0, and they
have one more game to play
than does PKP.
The only other action in
league four was a battle between
DU and SPE. DU won
by a score of 14-7. The game
was tied going into the fourth
quarter, but DU scored on the
second play of the last stanza
to insure victory.

LINEBACKER BILL CODY (11) heads for paydirt after
intercepting a stray Florida aeriel in the fourth quarter of
the Tigers 19-0 homecoming win last Saturday. The Gator
guards doing an about face are Bill Richbourg (68) and
Jack Thompson (63).

ward Simpson, Mike Alford,
Bill Van Dyke, Chuck Heller,
and Bucky Waid, who have
contributed greatly to past
successes.
Coach Ray Graves called
Auburn the best team his Gators
had played in two years,
following the Tigers exciting
Homecoming whitewash.
While the Plainsmen have
four games remaining, Saturday's
fray with Mississippi
State is another crucial meeting,
for several possibilities lie
in the outcome. A number of
possibilities may result from
an Auburn victory. Post season
bowl officials have already
mentioned the Tigers as prime
prospects for a New Year's
Day invitation, and with seven
or more triumphs a bid would
be nearly assured.
At present the Tigers lead
the Southeastern t Conference
title race with the Rebels of
Ole Miss in second place by
virtue of having battled fewer
conference opponents. Continued
success would place the
pressure on the charges of
Coach Johnny Vaught.
Third item to be considered
is the distinct possibility that
Auburn might attain the top
rung in the national press
polls which are so popular
with sports fans, should one
or more of the present leaders
falter.
Mississippi State's role is
one of the classic spoilers position,
for the Maroons meet
Auburn, LSU, and Mississippi,
before the conclusion of the
1963 campaign. Having lost
only one conference encounter
themselves, the Bulldogs will
be fighting to keep their title
hopes alive.
Coach Jordan has asked for
and received near unbelievable
performances from his
once - underrated a t h l e t es
through the first six games,
and there is no doubt that for
the remainder of the season
he will ask them to dig even
deeper.

went over right tackle for the
TD. The PAT was a fake kick
by Kerr which Don Shankles
completed to Ramsey but Alabama
was penalized 15 yards
for holding. Kerr then kicked
a good extra point to put Alabama
ahead 13-0 with 10:09
left in the half.
Kelly kicked to Bell at the
one and it was returned to
the 26. McCraw gained seven
over right tackle. Looser gained
one more and then Bryan
carried and was hit hard,
causing him to loose the ball.
Wayne King recovered for the
Tide at the Auburn 35. Alabama
was penalized five yards
for b e i n g off-sides, then
Moore was stopped for no
gain by Yearout. Jimmy Israel
completed to Jerrell Moon for
seven at the 33. Landon Miller
swept left end and went to the
16 for the first down. Rumsey
was thrown for a loss of two
by Bell. Israel ran on the option
and went to the Auburn
one before Robinson stopped
him. Moseley carried the ball
over on the next play. The
PAT was another fake kick by
Kerr with Shankles passing to
Wheeler for two points. Alabama
21-Auburn 0 with 5:24
left in the first half.
Auburn led in all departments
except total points,
punting average and number
of yards penalized. Auburn
punted four times for 31.5 and
Alabama punted three for 42.
Auburn was penalized 31.5,
Alabama 70. Auburn had 19
f i r s t downs, Alabama 12.

'BATTLE OF THE QUARTERBACKS'
(Mailed to The Plainsman
by Mr. Ben Lightfoot of College Park, Ga.)
Qa Campus with
{Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys"
and "Barefoot Boy With Cheek".)
HOW SMALL CAN YOU GJET?
Today let us address ourselves to a question that has long rocked
and roiled the academic world: Is a student better off at a small
college than at a large college?
To answer this question it is necessary first to define terms.
What, exactly, do we mean by a small college? Well sir, some
say that in order to be called truly small, a'college should have
an enrollment of not more than four; students. ,."•'
I. surely have no quarrel with this statement^ a-four-student
college must unequivocally be called- small. - Indeed, I would
even call it intimc if I knew what inlime meant*. But I submit
there is such a thing as being too small. Take, for instance, a
recent unfortunate event at Crimscott A and M." ."..
Crimscott A and M, situated in a pleasant valley nestled
between Philadelphia and Salt Lake City, was founded by
A. and M. 'Crimscott, two brothers ,who, left Ireland in 1625
to escape ihid'bpt&tb ifa'rriirie of 1841. As a result.of their foresight,
the dttm's'coW bifo'thers never went -without potatoes for
one single day1 oHhyi'r lives—arid mighty -grateful they were,!
One night, full of gratitude after a wholesome-meal of French
fries, cottage fries, hash browns, and • au gratin, they decided
to show their appreciation to this bountiful land of potatoes
by endowing a college. But their. generosity . contained one
stipulation: the enrollment of the college must "never exceed
four students. They felt,fthut only by keeping the "sc¥6oT this
small could each student .be. assured of the personalized .attention,
the camaraderie, the esprit, that is uU too often lacking in
larger institutions of higher learning. • -'. .
Well sir, things went along swimmingly until one Saturday
a few years ago. On this day Crimscott had. a football game
scheduled against Minnesota',-its traditional rival. Football,
as you can well imagine, was something of a problem at Crimscott,
what with only four undergraduates in the entire college.
It was easy enough to muster a backfield, bat to'find a good
line—or even
